Walt & El Grupo

In a historic moment of cultural diplomacy, Walt Disney embarked on an extraordinary 10-week journey to South America in 1941, tasked by the Roosevelt administration to strengthen ties between the Americas. Accompanied by his handpicked team of artists and filmmakers, known as "El Grupo," Disney traveled to Latin and South America, gathering material that would eventually inspire two beloved animated feature films: Saludos Amigos (1942) and The Three Caballeros (1944). This remarkable documentary chronicles the fascinating story behind these iconic productions.
